Question 1

can vitamin d cause constipation?

Accepted Answer

No: Hi. Nope, vitamin D doesn't do that. The average American diet does, however. Most people eat a low fiber diet, and constipation is a common side effect of the unhealthy American diet. Increase fiber in the diet (veggies and fruits) and use fiber laxatives, if needed. Drink plenty of fluids. It's no fun to be FOS! Good luck!

Question 2

calcium with vitamin d can it cause constipation?

Accepted Answer

: By themselves, these supplements have no effect on your bowel habits. Look for some other cause.

Question 3

will vitamin d supplement cause constipation?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Vitamin d has been reported to cause constipation.  In your case, there is no blood test to determine if constipation is caused by vitamin d.  It would be reasonable to stop the vitamin d for 1-2 weeks to see if the constipation resolves.  If it does, you are likely confirming this as a side effect.

Question 4

what can cause gastroparesis other than diabetes? positive ana, vit d deficient, anemia, severe constipation age 35 woman

Accepted Answer

See GI: For an issue such as this, i assume you are seeing a gastroenterologist. I will comment only on the ANA which is my expertise. By itself, it does not diagnose any condition and may be totally unrelated. However, an ANA positive disease in my field that comes to mind is scleroderma. It is a skin hardening condition which can involve the esophagus, stomach, and intestine. It would be a rare cause.

Gastroenterologist: You need to be seen and fully evaluated by a GI doctor, and this will mean subjecting yourself to endoscopy and possible small bowel biopsy. This may or may not have anything to do with the viral infection you had, but there is no way to tell without a full assessment. Hope this helps.

Also don't drink and sweet drinks -especially artificial sweeteners
